canines
Wolves and foxes
Canines are the pointed teeth situated between incisors and premolars, designed for tearing food.
Humans have four; in predators like dogs and wolves, they're more prominent fangs.
The word also refers to dogs and their relatives—wolves, foxes, coyotes—members of the dog family.
As an adjective, canine means relating to dogs: canine behavior, canine companions.
